Quidditch Slytherin vs Ravenclaw - Fall 2022

When Jack was calm enough to actually be able to focus on the game, he realized that they, the Slytherins - or the Cloud Cobras as the Slytherin Quidditch Team called themselves - were actually in the lead. By 40 points, no less, if he was keeping track right. At least, that's what the referee had said. Four Quaffle goals had scored them that much and Jack felt sorry for Aly, the Ravenclaw Team's Keeper.

Still, if she had been trying to cheat or something, it served her right for abandoning her post. Furthermore, she was given a penalty lap by the referee for...what was it called? 'Blatching'? So people really did try to cheat during games! This was news to Jack, who didn't think he would have actually been able to see it happen.

Erin was as formidable as ever, just as much in the sky as on the ground, and Jack was glad she was on their side, especially as a Beater. He wondered if he should have tried out for being a Beater instead of a Keeper as he would have felt safest with a bat in his hands while the Bludgers were flying around, but Keeper had been the position that was open. Again, he was grateful he was only second-string. Thank goodness Koko and Tyranni had dodged Aly's blatch.

"WHOOHOO! Go Cloud Cobras!" Jack called, raising a fist to the sky as he cupped his other hand around his mouth for his voice to carry. "Show 'em what they get for trying to cheat!"

When Flash chided him for making excuses and lectured him on 'not being able to see the pathway to victory', Jack wanted to laugh but refrained. Again, his seriousness about the game surprised his peer as he felt he was being lectured by an old man. "Alright, alright, I'll try to be better," he tried to reconcile. It was easier to be more optimistic when they were winning. Especially more so when the opposing team seemed to be having such a hard time. One of the Ravenclaws had seriously hit their own?!

Jack glanced back briefly to notice out the corner of his perception that Percival Rainwood and Avery Chen seemed to be having an argument of sorts. Jack was surprised at this, too. He knew Percival was something of a hothead, quick to anger, but for him to have incited cheerful Avery into taunting him back was something Jack had not expected. They seemed to be fighting about Hanako and his rooming decisions and Jack quickly decided it wasn't his business, trying to avoid overhearing in order to keep out of the fight.

Soon enough, though, Avery turned back to Jack to elaborate more on what had happened to him during his first quidditch game. He tried to smile again but it still came out strained. Unlike Avery, Jack had no friends, so the thought of friends coming to see him at the Hospital Wing was of little comfort. Still, he listened, hoping to learn as much as he could from the former Keeper so he could prevent the past from repeating itself with him.

"Oh, so, uh...are those 'killer Beaters' the same Beaters who are playing now...?" he asked, trying to sound casual about it as he watched the skies and the flying brooms whizzing about. So it was a bludger; he knew it.

"Oh, I'd be perfectly fine not getting any air time this match or any match," Jack was quick to tell Avery. He could hardly handle his nerves thinking of having to watch Flash play, let alone being made to play himself. And to have to do both things at once? Merlin forbid that ever happen. He wouldn't be able to concentrate properly on either task.

- In the role of Keeper when you attempt to block your goal, if your opponent somehow has advantage on attempting to score a goal, that is negated (they only have their normal single roll against you).
- In the role of Keeper, if the Keeper effectively blocks an attempt to score rather than obtain possession of the quaffle they can kick the quaffle at the user who attempted to score. This must be declared at the time actions are submitted. This would have damage like a bludger using an accuracy roll to hit and the user's strength score to determine the amount of damage done. If the quaffle hits or misses the target, a quafflegrab the next round would be necessary to determine which team has possession of the quaffle again.

Percival rolled his eyes at the boy's words. God, how much did it irk him that Chen was right? His and Hanako's relationship was done. The bridge connecting the two of them had burned for the final moment and had crumpled away into a pile of smoldering ash below their feet. The boy gritted his teeth together tightly, and he vaguely wondered if he kept pushing would his teeth snap in half. It was an idle thought that slowly morphed into breaking Chen's teeth instead. He did like his own teeth. The boy turned his sour look briefly at Chen before looking away once again. "Wow Chen, you really got me with that one. It is almost like we aren't friends or something. he said quickly his voice dripping with sarcasm. Percival swallowed thickly at the boy's last words. As if any of this was actually his fault. He hadn't asked to be locked up inside all summer. Yet here he was, friendless. Percival frowned deeply before ignoring Chen completely.

1. In the role of Beater, if you hit an opponent with a bludger the bludger will then ricochet off that user and target a second opponent of choice (must be declared, if not declared the target will be random and can be an ally but not yourself).

2. In the role of Beater, if an ALLY dodges a bludger during the round, there is a 20% chance that you catch that bludger with your bat and you send it at a RANDOM enemy target.

There was always risk and reward to be weighed during a game. This was no exception, as Tyranni had Koko, their prized keeper, on her broom. With such differing roles, it would either mean the team left their hoops unguarded, or there was one less chaser on the field to try and score if Tyr assisted Koko at the goals. When just a few points had been so critical in the past seasons for determining rank for the championship game, it seemed to be the better option to split the pair up and return Koko. Ravenclaw was not without an attempt to see that goal fail as Aly, their own keeper came charging across the pitch at the pair, but it was a futile attempt as the young captain could see the blond bull charge from a kilo away. She evaded easily and returned Koko to her broom and carried on with the game.

Diving in at the last moment, certain of nothing, Sylvain swiped River from the sky in a big bear hug. The hit from the ricochet spun him comically around Moontrimmer but as he gripped her tight he joked. "You know why don't we just start on the same broom one of these days, what's stopping us?" He looked dazed and confused, but still capable of flying onward. "We're not going out like last game, can you tell me where the snitch is?"

Now it seemed one fall was not going to fulfill the needs for excitement this game. It was not long until River was once more plummeting, and she took struggling breaths as her lungs seemed to compress under the sudden grasp of gravity.

This time her usual savior flew in just in time, and River was more than relieved to see that her friend Sylvain had been watching out for her. River took some quick glances around trying to orient herself as Sylvain spoke. She gave him a slightly shaky smile “Heh maybe you got a point there”, she chuckled. “No, we’re not going to go out like last time… hopefully. I’ll let you know when I’ve found the darn thing”, she responded. to him,squinting her eyes hoping to see a glimpse of the golden snitch

Although Koko was often proud to be a Slytherin, she felt more than just the usual pride coursing through her veins as Erin knocked down three ravens with her Beating finesse. As a grateful passenger on Tyranni’s broom, Koko found that she could cheer for her teammates and observe the game better than she could otherwise, although, regrettably, she and Tyranni dodged a blatch once again. The Ravenclaws really were cheaters, Koko thought. Shame on them.

Excels at catching falling allies as well as getting them back to their broom quickly.

This broom can carry multiple people. When someone uses the catch option to rescue a falling teammate, they can catch one additional teammate in a given round. If the user has the ability Catch then a user can catch an indefinite number of teammates in a round, but for each person they catch after the first there is a stacking 20% auto-failure chance.

On the next round, as a free action (meaning both users can make a normal action) the rider and ONE passenger (if there are multiple sharing the broom, it would cost both of their actions to return them to their broom also) can retrieve a single broom.

Edme continued to watch the game as intently as possible from the bench, hands in her lap. It seemed the players were falling left and right, and although excitements were high, the idea of being one of those plummeting players left an uneasy feeling in her gut. Even so, there was lots of time left in the game, so she decided to push down her horror and go back to cheering for her team.
